So I’ve been amazed at how male lead Luo Yun Xi has looked in all the BTS filming pictures of him in one ostentatious costume after another for the xianxia C-drama Shui Long Yin. But now that the filming has wrapped and the production has released the first set of official character posters and BTS filming preview, I gotta say … Continue reading →
This weekend was the 2023 iQiyi Scream Awards held in Macau and the young and pretty C-stars were out in attendance. This was a streaming platform event so the winners isn’t anything more that the platform paid to do their productions or will be doing one so it was more a social event than anything. I’m there for the C-actress … Continue reading →
This is getting rather absurd but politics nowadays feels like the theater of the dramatics. More C-stars are cutting endorsement ties with luxury brands over how the brands refer to Hong Kong and/or Taiwan on it’s merchandise or websites. Model Liu Wen ended a years long partnership with Coach, Zhang Yi Xin (Lay) cut ties with Samsung, and him and … Continue reading →
I can’t believe I’m falling for the charm of It Started With a Kiss (Itazura na Kiss) again but go figure that a movie version no one was clamoring for may actually be good. The upcoming Fall in Love at First Kiss movie with Darren Wang and Jelly Lin is premiering this weekend right in time for Valentine’s Day and … Continue reading →
Valentine’s Day feels apropos for the premiere of the C-movie version of It Started With a Kiss (Itazura Na Kiss) adaptation, this time starring TW-actor Darren Wang with C-actress Jelly Lin.

There’s a new remake of It Started With a Kiss (Itazura na Kiss) in the works and this one doesn’t elicit the immediate response of why bother which is actually good sign. There are so many versions of ISWAK out there and I’ve like quite a few of them – the Taiwan perfection with Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng, before … Continue reading →
Another year another Harper’s Bazaar star-studded fashion charity gala awards in C-ent, this time a tad more subdued perhaps with the recent months entertainer tax evasion muck still permeating. My favorite two ball gowns were Jelly Lin and Yang Mi, both coincidentally wearing Reem Acra. Jing Tian in Dior and Victoria Song in Chanel were big misses, and the most … Continue reading →
The TC Candler website list of the Most Beautiful Faces of 2017 is out and congrats is due to Taiwanese idol singer Tzuyu (Chou Tzu Yu) of TWICE for being the highest East Asian star on the list at number 3. Former number 1 ranked Nana, who repeated twice in a row in 2014 and 2015, takes second among the … Continue reading →
C-ent’s puppy love for teen actor Wu Lei will get a treat and a test at the same time when his first major leading role in wuxia C-drama Fights Break Sphere (斗破苍穹) comes out later this year. It’s yet another nth adaptation of a wuxia novel and this one sounds just like Louis Cha‘s bread and butter of a young martial arts … Continue reading →
C-netizens are buzzing about Feng Shao Feng‘s high profile current and ex-girlfriend being spotted in the same dress, which isn’t all that problematic but for the two ladies being visually very similar in goods and aura. A-list actress Ni Ni recently attended an awards ceremony in Gucci‘s long blue flower pattered dress, and the same recently appeared on rising young … Continue reading →
The new lunar calendar year of the monkey brings the first juicy dating news to liven things up. It’s kinda scandalous but I’m all about letting pretty people do their pretty thing so this unexpected couple is fine by me. Feng Shao Feng currently has a hit C-movie in theaters The Monkey King 2, which is doing head-to-head competition with … Continue reading →
All hail Asian box office legend Stephen Chow – it’s incredible how he has reigned over the Asian box office for three decades now and done it through transformation from leading actor to producer and then director.
